Receiving a gift from someone who works in a bank
Question
I have received a gift (fabric) from a family member who works in a bank. I'm not sure how halaal the person's income is. Will it be okay to utilise this gift to make a dress for myself etc?
Answer
If the income is haraam then how can you use a gift that is received from him.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
